12 Kinds of Exhausted

2007-05-22T20:02:00.000-06:00

Jeez.
It's been a while.
I've been BUSY!

I've been working non-stop at Ardenes. I got a promotion last friday to be 3rd Key (assistant to the assistant manager) at the Circle Center location, and then today I got offerred the Assistant Manager position because a bunch of girls quit.

Yay more money!! Boo sore feet! Ô.ò

I'm working 14 days straight (at least) because of the people who quit or have been sick, but I get a few days off the weekend after this weekend, to go to Edmonton for a crazy stagette pub crawl for someone I do not know. Booyah! lol It's gonna be insane! I'm excited!

Other than work I've been partying way too much. Well lately it hasn't been so much partying as much as just hanging out, and going out every day with someone. But I love my friends!! So that's a-okay with me!! =D

My parents are spending the majority of their time at the lake, so I they haven't been home very much. (yay)

Huzzah!! Tomorrow is my only 3 hour shift. 6pm - 9pm. I get to sleep in!! =Þ
Anyway, I have no clean clothes or food in my house... so I'm thinkin' I should go do something about that.

Come visit me at Center now! No more Lawson for me!!

3. Press play

5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie

Now, I Love This Bar for the first day of highschool is pretty awesome. There's no denying that!
Gettin' back together with B*Witched... sure why not.
Other than that, everything looks like it works out pretty good! Waking up to DJ Champion is a regular occurrance, so that's not so far off.

New Hair!!

2007-03-31T12:52:00.000-06:00

Yep! I killed my hair once again!!

This time I went blue back all over, with pink underneath and a few chunks on top. And then there's purple from mixing the blue and pink.
So there's petty much 5 colours in my hair right now.. Brown in a few places, black, dark blue, purple, and pink.

I LOVES IT!

Saturated Enough For You?

2007-03-22T05:27:00.000-06:00

So I have been painting for about 8 hours straight. Before that I worked for 3 hours at the store, and before that I painted for 4 hours. I painted for 8 hours yesterday. (I should be getting paid for this!)
I'm pretty sure I hate painting right now. Just let me check...

YEP!

I had to get 2 paintings finished for tomorrow's class...which is technically today's class...
One, I've been working on for weeks and I still feel it isn't done, the other I started this afternoon.
Blech.

Why the hell am I still awake? It's 5:30 in the am. On the bright! Except I don't see any brightness anywhere except the light emminating from my computer screen. I'm disgusted!
I'm not tired...hmmm ok maybe my lack of sleep added with excessive staring at canvas for hours is catching up with me, (...plus that back pain medication I took a few hours ago...It has no affect - until I stand up. That shit's like 5 lemon drops in a row!) but I also know that if I go to bed right now, I will not be waking up until I've had at least 7 hours of sleep, but I have class at 9...and in order for that to happen I have to get up at 6:30ish. Therefore, I shall refrain from going to bed... but now I have nothing to do. Nay! I DO have something to do! Here, I turn to my lonely blog child and, thus, I bring this post to you, my friends.

Well...now that that's over... what now?
I think I'm gonna watch a movie. That sounds about right!

Later, my poor neglected blog child.

Mommy will feed you again soon.

OOOOH! I finally saw Super Troopers!
Just thought I would share meow.
It was an important event in my life.
You never forget a thing like that.

Anyway... Goodbye meow!

The Great Underwear Chain Letter!

2007-03-07T22:30:00.000-06:00

Hey guys!
Just wanted to drop a line about my friend Caitlin's Art History project.
It's called The Great Underwear Chain Letter, and there's a link so you guys can check it out!
She really needs people to participate and comment on her LiveJournal community so she can get her project done as awesomely as possible.

I think it's a snazzy idea, and incredibly creative, so help her out and let her know what you think! And if you want to participate, I'm sure she would absotively love you for it!

Huzzah for underpants!!

I Can Be Your John Cusack

Oh yeah... I forgot about you Mr. Blogman.

Forgive me for being a parent of neglect.

So, my birthday was awesome. It sucked, but didn't suck at the same time. And it didn't suck like last year sucked. And last year really sucked. No, my friends, it sucked cause I was sick as hell with the flu or something equally (if not more) shitty...which really sucked. Wow...this sucks!

Anyway... so I musterred up the will to go out. I rickety-ticked my mustery lolligaggen and lolligaggened off to supper with Mitchel, Jamie, and Lena.

After supper we headed to the Longbranch!! I was still sickish, but I felt better as the night went on, and I even managed to have a few drinks, courtesy of Brett, and do some two steppin'!

Brett and Brad are 2 mighty hilarious drunks! There's some pretty great pictures to prove it. The night was a grand time, but it totally would have been THAT much awesomer had I not been sick. Oh well, there's always next year! Or just next weekend... either one.

We did end up partying on the Saturday after my birthday anyway though. We got everyone over here and had a galorious old time!

**TANGENT**

I finally got an iTrip!

...So my neighbors gave me 2 dozen orange roses for my birthday. That was super sweet of them! They were so nice and pretty. I took pictures of them... Lena told me the pictures looked like soft core porn. I'm not sure what kind of porn Lena watches, or what species happen to be in said porn, but I wasn't quite grasping her concept of it. Ô_ò

I have come to the realization that Lena is my daily dose of weird. Go Figure!

Among the gifts I recieved from my parents was a $200 gift card to Le Chateau!!

So I grabbed Lena last Friday and made her help me find some pretty new clothes. I ended up with 5 things, and I still have about $50 left on my card! (Sweet Fucking deal for shopping at le chateau!) Everything I wanted was on sale except one of the tops I found. So 1 sweet black jacket, and 4 sexy silky tops later, I was a pretty happy camper! Hmmm...this brings me to a random thought.... Note to self, do not go camping while wearing clothes from le chateau...

Last weekend was another good time, full of partying, battling cats, Jamie biffing it big time, and whatever else happened...

Jamie broke up with her boyfriend (finally...), which definitely called for celebration, so that's just what we did! We had a bunch of people over and gloriously spent the evening having a super time!

Oh yeah, and Jamie slipped and biffed it (or "boofed" it...whichever you prefer) on my driveway. I'm told it was super funny, but sadly, I did not get to witness this event.

Oh well... I will have her reinact it later for my personal entertainment.

Last night (monday) I went with Jamie and friends to go see the movie Wild Hogs.

Super funny. It was a good time. Especially when the fat drunk redneck was singing Don'tcha by the Pussycat Dolls at the chili cookoff. Ohhh that was grand!

AHHHH

Jennie's coming home this weekend!!! YAY!!

I'm so excited to see her, I haven't seen her in MONTHS!

We're all gonna gather at me hoose on Friday evening. We might be going for supper somewhere or something. We'll figure things out when we get there, but It would be super magnificent if everyone could come and have a good time! YAY JENNIE!!! :D

By the way, it's her birthday tomorrow!! (March 7th)

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY JENNIE!!!

Alright, well that's all for now. Off to class for this girl!

Off to dinner with some friends and then over to the Longbranch for a good night out!
Come join us! :D

Oh, by the way dudes, I chopped all my hair off. I had a random urge at about 2am one night over the break and chopped it off. Hasn't been this short in YEARS! I love it!! What do y'all think?

And then after I cut my hair, I randomly took this quiz. I'm wicked cool!

Your hairstyle should be Cutting Edge
Ready for something daring? Of course you are! Whether you're going for big curls or bold colors, your hairstyle is sure to stand out. After all, your fashionable philosophy doesn't rely on trends. Who needs 'em? Certainly not a fearless girl like you.
Willing to take chances, you've got your own distinctive edge and unique tastes to guide your style. You're one-of-a-kind and make sure everything down to your tresses says the same. From funky bags to cool earrings to the perfect chunky highlights, there's no doubt friends look to you for the season's next hot look. Way to make a statement!

This week will be spent sleeping as much as possible, watching as many movies as I can, chillin' with all my buddies as much as time will allow, and preparing the wrath of Chantal. I am planning a small coup d'état, an awesome Chantal-like intervention, of my household for sometime this week. Anyone who would like to lend a hand is quite welcome.

Anyway, only 3 days until Ryan moves home.
It's going to be interesting. They are bringing their pets.

PUB CRAWL!!

2007-01-21T14:26:00.000-06:00

So I spent Friday night crawlin' round the pubs.
It was a BLASTY BLAST!!

We ate some chickown and headed off to start the night at the Scuz, and I definitely had my camera in tow! We took a total of 226 pictures. I KNOW! That's an entire clusterfuck of pictures, I'll tell ya that! I ended up losing my ID, debit card, and somewhere between $20 and $30. Time to go call the bars to see if they found my ID! haha Oh well, these pictures are almost worth it!

Here's some good shots from the evenings events.

The Girls! Brittany, Jen, Tamara, Jenny, & me!

Jenny & Tamara, showing off their goods.

Me, Brit, Jenny, and Mitch

Me & Brit!

I'm on the bus - this reminds me of Steve Carell on the cover of 40 Year Old Virgin...

Jenny, showcasing Jen's breast.

This was our bus driver!

Shakin' what Big Momma gave them!

Sampling Jen's candy necklace. Yum.

Dancing at the Deuce!

Not quite sure why this was happening, but hey! It looks fun!

Me & big sis Jenny!

Me & Jen - licking each other on the bus!

There's a whole lot of touching and licking going on here.

Me, Jen, Brit, & some guy at the Pat!

Me & T! Kiss Kiss!

Me, Jen & some beer at the OD! Fucking mullet man!

hahaha Here is a sample of the random people we took pictures of.

Dancing at the Pat!

The girls dancing at the Scuz!

haha Brittany, being molested by Mitch and Todd

Hey it's Angie and Elise! We ran into them at the Scuz!

Jen & T! We were off to Subway after the pub crawl. That was a good sub! Thanks Jen!

Hey! It's the help center guy whose name I can never remember!

In fact I think we picked a fight about it in subway...

After subway we ran over to the Athena where we found a very pimpin' Brett and his entourage

There you have it! This is probably about a 9th of all of the pictures we took.

Why did we take so many? Meh It was fun! And these pictures are hilarious!

Until next time, keep fit and have fun!

You Don't Even Know!

2007-01-14T20:43:00.000-06:00

I now have blue hair, my friends!
BLUE hair.

Yep! I got bored whilst lazing around in my room on the night of the craziest blizzard in Saskatoon in more than 50 years. In fact, not only was I bored. No, my friends, not just me. My hair, too, had an extreme urge to keep itself busy.

**Random Train of Thought**
Speaking of being bored... Isn't it odd how on any other Wednesday evening, I would be quite satisfied just chillin' with my computer, tv, books, whatever. I am usually quite content, but while there is an extreme whiteout, crazy-as-hell, city-shut-downer of a blizzard EVERYONE is sitting around whining, "Goddamn! I'm bored! I wish I could go out and do shit! Why does Saskatchewan suck so much? Pfft. Blizzard. I can make it through this crap. Where's my car keys?"

It doesn't make any sense!
It's ridiculous!

Anyway, back to the hair...

So, while I was whining about being stranded at home, under house arrest, (Probably a really good thing...I know.) I decided to find my blue semi-permanent hair dye.
BAD IDEA! Naughty Naughty Kool-Aid!
DON'T DO THAT!
...In my opinion anyway.
What's your two cents?

haha It at least gave me and my hair something to do...but I miss the pink.
My hair needs a rest.
Who thinks I should shut up about my hair?

Yep!
That was my rant for the evening.Just thought I would share. Not sure why. I'm kind of a retard.

At least I'm not a clusterfuck.

Have a good week everyone! ;D

Christmas At The Lake

2007-01-02T21:06:00.000-06:00

Well, another Christmas has come and gone, and it's already 2007!

My holiday at the lake was very good.

The weather was gorgeous every day, and everything looked perfect!

Christmas morning was quiet with just my parents and me, but it was really nice.
We had a bunch over for Christmas dinner. I think there were 13 people all together, with lots of yummy food!!

I totally got a pink digital camera for Christmas! Along with a bottle of Black Sambuca, some beef jerky, other stuff, and lots of socks...

Mmmmm. Socks.

Here's some pictures from Christmas day!

Our Tree on Christmas morning

* Me and my new pink camera!

Picture of our cabin I painted for my parents for Christmas

This was the evening sky on Christmas day. So pretty!

The colour-changing teddybear I got from my cat, of all creatures! haha

Some friends showed up at their cabin a couple days after Christmas, so I spent a lot of time hanging out and playing games at their place. Had lots of fun chillin with their all their pets, went skidooing, and drank a lot of beer. Otherwise, I was sitting in my room reading, watching the OC, and doing puzzles. Yey!

We went riding on the annual poker rally on the 29th. None of us won anything, but we had a good time. The trails were pretty good. Just wish there was more powder to have fun on!!

New Years Eve was a good time! We went to a friends place for a gargantuan supper, and then I headed back to another friend's place to party.

It was Megan's boyfriend's birthday, too, so we had to party extra hard!!

We played lots of cards, drinking games, and a ton of Catch Phrase. And I showed up with no money in my pockets, and somehow gambled away more than $5... Guts. What a game! haha

Overall, my New Years was a pretty galorious time!

Now I am back in town! But WAY too soon!

I'm kinda broken, too. Sore from skidooing...and my shitty bed at the lake. But meh. It was fun!

At least I don't start classes until the 4th! My prof for my m/w/f class isn't back until the 8th. WOOT! I only have one day of classes this week!

Anyway, I'm still unpacking in my disaster of a room, so I'm going to go continue finding the floor...and my bed.

I hope everyone had a really good Christmas, and some great holiday celebrations!!

Cheers!

Here are some random pictures from the lake!

Look at all that food!!

My dad and I take pleasure in torturing our kitty...

So, I'm off to the lake for the holidays!

I kinda quit my job, too... but only kind of.
They are keeping me on the payroll as a casual employee.
I only worked 1 day a week - 3 days Tops! Was that not already casual? haha
Oh well. I've pretty much had enough of that place. My manager was even surprised I stayed that long, especially when you compare me to all the other girls who left after a fews days or weeks.
Aaaanyway!

I'm so excited for Christmas!
I better get my camera! haha
The lake might be a little boring, but I'll have a few friends around here and there I think.
My parents and I are hosting a big dinner on Christmas day. I think there's going to be about 12 people in all.
A lot better than the 3 of us!

I'm coming home on the 1st, as far as I know.
I MAY be here before that, depending on when Alanna is coming home - I might catch a ride with her. But otherwise I'm ridin' with my parents.

Alright, well I hope everyone has a GALORIOUS holiday, and a MAGNIFICENT Christmas!!
And everything else good in between!

I guess I'll be seeing everyone in the new year!
Oh and I hope you all have some awesome New Years plans! Let the year out with biggest Bang possible! ;)

All the best!

What?! I Hope It Wasn't On My Coat!

2006-12-11T23:53:00.000-06:00

I am SO done exams!
HA

Woot! It feels so good to be done and just relax!
Now I've got to get my ass in gear and start my Christmas shopping... and baking. Ooooh this is gonna be interesting.

My hair is back to pink again - just in time for Christmas!
Everyone was telling me the orangey-blonde-pink-whateverthatis--> looked good, but I needed some more pink.
Don't worry - it'll fade again.
hmm, I wish I could buy different colours in stores just as cheap... that would be more fun.
But pink will do.
I keep cutting my hair again, too. It's real short now (compared to how long it usd to be!)
It's almost an addiction. ...when I can't afford tattoos - I cut my hair and dye it.

So I went to my staff party this past Saturday.
SUCKED!
SO boring, and there were only 10 people there! We went to Kelly's Kafe for it. Random and entirely out of the way.
I blew $20 on a tarrot card reading. The lady is a "psychic reader"...
She was way off on some things, spot on with others, and pretty vague for the most.
It was kind of creepy, though, with the amount of facts she got right with my coworkers.
But for some reason, with me and 2 of the other girls, she was very wrong.
Interesting nonetheless.

After the party - or whatever one might call it - I headed over to Jame's place, where James (aka Coco), Mike and friends were hanging out before heading to the club.
I went to Diva's with them, and ran into Elise! We all had a galorious time!
I missed that place. Brings back some of the summer. Some of those awesome nights.
Michael and Jamesicle! We need to have a get together soooon!!! I miss my boys!!

So I kind of feel like I havn't seen anyone in a while. Been studying a lot, so I havn't been going out TOO much, but it's weird.

Havn't even really talked to anyone lately. And if I have it's been either weird, or just, I don't know. Odd.

Aaaaanywaaay!
I need to get to bed.
I work Tuesday and Wednesday nights for the next 2 weeks, and other than that, my time will be JUST for hanging out and who knows what? So gimme a call if anyone wants to do something before I head up to the lake on the 22nd! (I'll be back on the 1st at the latest)

And I think I'm gonna try and get everyone together maybe this weekend for some good ol' Christmas cheer! Let me know what works for you!

That's it for now!
Good luck with finals, everyone who's still writing!!

2006-11-29T00:22:00.000-06:00

Well, Christmas is coming up fast!
I still have to start my xmas shopping!
And then I gotta start baking cookies for all of my friends.

Finals are coming, too. Luckily I only have 2, but They are fairly close, and I'm done early this year, so I won't have much time. Plus working in between. Huzzah!
Got a midterm and a paper due on the 4th, a final on the 7th, and another on the 11th. Then on the 22nd it's off to the lake for Christmas! Don't know how long I'll be gone. They may need me at work, and I'm looking forward to visiting with Jennie and Jon when they come home!!

As far as I know We won't be seeing my brother again this Christmas. I guess they can't get time off of work to come home. Whatever.

Last weekend my parents and I went out to my uncle's farm to celebrate my grandma's 89th birthday. It was a great time! My cousin Dean-Marie came out with her parents from Red Dear! I never get to see her, so we always have a blast being goofs when we get together.
Then all of my mom's siblings came home for the weekend - half of the 6 of em live in Alberta.
We're a real musical family, so everybody brought out their guitars, bass guitars, slide guitars and fiddles! Oh and we all had our singing voices there, too!
We sat around and jammed all day Saturday.
It was such a fun time! My grandma really enjoyed herself!
I hope next year, for her 90th, it's just as fun, perhaps even more, since we're renting out the hall and throwing a ginormous muscal/performance type bash! (Especially since my grandma is a twin, and they're both still goin' strong!)

So, I'm kinda being a hermit right now (except this weekend), due to cramming and last minute efforts at projects and papers. So bear with me while I procrastinate until finals are over! haha
But by all means, give me a call, make me go for coffee breaks, anything!

On a sad note, my other fish died today. :(
Red Shoelaces died a couple weeks ago. Now Anaconda Jennie is gone, too.
Poor fishies. They had a good 2.5 year run. They will be missed.
Oh well. At least I won't have to deal with getting someone to feed them while I'm at the lake next month...
I'll get some more once I decide I can take care of them like a good fish owner should! lol

Anyway, that's all the news I can think of at the moment.
I am more preoccupied with watching House anyway.
Catch ya later you naughty people! Don't you dare bring me down! ;D

P.S. Check out my new Art post on my Art blog. It's fun!

Change

2006-10-07T01:15:00.000-06:00

The leaves, the moods, the hair colour.
Things are always changing around here!!!

Fall has come out of the gates running, but apparently it has mixed emotions and can't decide if it wants to be frost-causing, heavy-jacket wearing weather, or t-shirt weather. Oh well, the nice sunny days this past week have been great! I'm not ready for the cold yet.

So...It's a week into October already. Excuse me while I freak out for a second...
October!!! Can you believe it?
Life's just flying by. School has been alright.
Havn't had any midterms or the like yet..That starts next week and I'm not ready. I haven't tried to be ready. I honestly haven't cared.
The only class I care about is painting, which, by the way, is insanely awesome. A lot of work, but still glorious!
Overall, though, school really hasn't been a priority. I go to class, I take notes, I go home.
I spend more time meeting up with friends.
I've been working, too, but when that's not taking up my time I'm usually with a friend or two...or sleeping.

I guess my friends and my sanity have become priority. That's what seems right at this point.
And SO many things are changing. Not just with me, but with everyone I know.
People are changing.
Friendships are changing - mostly for the better, when it comes to me anyway.
I've gotten to know some of my friends better in the last few months. It's been great!

I'm also friends with Brett Bates again. That took a year and a half to regenerate. haha
We've been hanging out and just having some good times for the last couple weeks, it's been really fun. I'm really glad we ran into each other at the Pat 2 weeks ago!
I missed him!!

Speaking of Brett, it so happens to be his birthday this Sunday.
**EVERYBODY COME TO THE PAT SUNDAY NIGHT!!**

haha Yeah...That's what I forgot.
I've been spending a lot of time partying too hard. And OHH! It's been good!
Crazy shit's been happening. I'm just ridin' the wave and having a blast.
Sometimes, that's all you can do.

I guess that's it for now.
Just thought I'd give you guys an update and ramble for a while.
And boy! Did I ramble! ;D

Celebrity Look-alikes

2006-09-15T12:27:00.000-06:00

Totally just swiped this off of Sugi's LJ. Thanks shortstuff! ^_^

Ha! So apparently the celebrity I look most like is Justin Chatwin.
Good stuff.
The fact that I look most like a man out of all those female is a little unnerving.
Oh well, at least he's hot. ...And Canadian.

Then next there's that chick from Full House. Whatever happened to her?

As for Rachel McAdams, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Jennifer Garner...and whoever the other two are... They're all hot, so I'm good with that!

Without You

2006-09-12T00:08:00.000-06:00

It's time to update.
I know it's been forever, but with all of the fun I was having during the summer, along with working at the mall and one very upsetting incident, I havn't really had the time or the words needed to make a post.

I hope everyone is doing well.
Things have been a little hectic aroud here, but I have learned that the tears dry, and life goes on.
It's been pretty tough, these past few weeks, without Liz.
I really miss her.
But Lena and I, along with some of our other friends, have been trying our best to find the good things in life and in our memories of Liz to laugh about.
We've just been trying to live out our days the best ways we know how, because we've all learned that there's no day but today.
Liz, you're missing out on all the fun! But I know you're there with us every step of the way!

Well, I'm back at school...already! So far, so good, though it is only the first week. It has been really good to see some people on a fairly regular basis for the last weekish, though.
I missed that.
As the days go on, I'm getting a little more excited about my classes, but I'll never be entirely thrilled. School just doesn't seem right at the moment. Probably because the summer is still trying to live on in the back of my mind.
I'm still waiting for her to come home so we can throw our highly anticipated "end-of-the-summer fiesta".
Doesn't seem fair, does it?
But nobody can be fully prepared for what life has planned for us.

Nobody.

Rest In Peace, Liz.

We Miss you.
You'll Always be in our hearts.

2006-07-17T15:45:00.000-06:00

Holy Junk it's been a while!
A LOT has happened since June 26th!
Lets see.... There was James' birthday. That was GOOD times! Especially those hot police men~.~

Lena's birthday celebrations, which just happened to coincide with Canada Day, which resulted in Lena + excessive alcohol, yummy food at the Freehouse, Sugi's first porn star (not to mention alcohol), fireworks, Marilyn Monroe moments,
Lena's attempt at doing the worm on the booze-shellacked dancefloor in her $300 dress at Divas, Lena - one stumble away from being kicked out of divas, and ultimately, a great time!!

In between all of the birthdays and booze, and other such things - like jobs, we still manage to spend the odd afternoon tanning either in Lena's or my backyard or on the little beach we found down by the train bridge, and creative toenail painting has now become everybody's new and sudden obsession.

Jon was in town a couple times to hang out before him and Jennie move off to Cowtown. We had some good times which included Grainfields, the Nutana Café, and the pink pillow. You all know which pink pillow I'm talking about. Don't pretend you've never found some sort of entertainment with that pink pillow. Liars!

Brittany had a nice little Avon party a couple weeks ago. I dragged Lena along with me. It was fun, and we got to mingle and visit and then try lots of random Avon products.

**BUY AVON FROM BRITTANY! BECAUSE SHE IS RATE COOL!**

In other news, We have decided that I am like the old ladie who lives in the shoe, because everybody seems to accumulate in my house.
While my parents are away, everybody moves in. lol Which is why everybody lives in my shoe...
Jamie has been living here for the last week, Lena stays here pretty much every weekend, and Liz, Jennie, and other such friends crash here after the bar some nights, and Brett's still in the basement (in case anyone thought that he randomly disappeared), so sometimes the house is pretty full. But it's all fun times! Our only problem is beds. There are only three, and Lena's goal is to kick someone out of bed every weekend because she refuses the couch. It's a strange little set up, and I'm sure the pixies have something to do with it.

On Friday I hosted a fun little patio party! It was for Jennie, on a count of her moving to Calgary and all. But I was so excited that it all actually worked out, seeing as no one ever shows up for my parties. It was really fun! We had the BBQ going all night with burgers and hotdogs, awesome patio party music, and Andy even brought over croquet! Thank you everybody, for coming out! I'm sure most of the people who read this were probably there. Maybe we can have another patio party in the coming future! ;)

While Lena climbed the tree, hid and waited till people said bad things about her to reveal herself, Blues and I found a wounded dragonfly which we put in a nice pail and dubbed Murphy. He only had 3 wings, you see, and could not fly. Guests were invited to give small donations to help Murphy out. Brittany was quite generous and gave him 13 cents, and a chip. Henry donated a nice receipt from the beer he had just recently bought. It went quite well. We were satisfied.
A bunch of us spent the next day lazing around and tanning in my backyard. It was so nice out. We managed to have some fun with a can of whipped cream and Jennie's new camera. hahaha

Well, that's pretty much all of the news I have to share...that I can remember anyway.
I hope everyone is having a glorious summer! I am off to go wake Jamie up so we can be retards together.

On a side note, I am in love with Lena's hair straightener. She means nothing to me without her hair straighter. That is all.

2006-06-26T22:13:00.000-06:00

It's been a crazy-busy couple of weeks!

I'm STILL out there job hunting. I've been searching like a kid in a Where's Waldo book!
Hopefully I'll get lucky this week.

Last weekend Brett and I randomly decided to dye our hair. So now both of us have a nice chunk of Fuchsia hair. It's so hot! And during the process of dying our hair we danced around my house to the Spice Girls and Aqua. It was incredibly awesome! And here are some pictures to prove how much of a dork I am! ;D

I've also watched quite a few movies this week... It's what I do at night. I downloaded "The New World". What an amazing movie! I absolutely loved it! I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it was great! Plus...Collin Farrell's lookin' pretty good in this one! ~~ haha

This past Saturday Brett, Jamie and I headed off to the Jazzfest freestage. It was a gorgeous day, and we spent the afternoon soakin' up the sun, listening to some awesome music, and taking countless pictures of ourselves! Brett's brother Kalin and his girlfriend joined us after a while, and then the Bews boys' friend from Kindersley and her boyfriend dropped by for a while. It was a great time! We had so much fun relaxing on our little blanket on the grass. ;D

Later that night Brett and I met up with the guys at Divas (Which was FREAKIN' AWESOME!), but first I painted a gargantuan spider on Brett's face. It was so awesome! He got lots of hilarious stares when we were out at the bar!

Today I spent the afternoon at Lena's place with her, Jamie and Liz. We were sun tanning on Lena's trampoline, and it was glorious! I didn't get much of a tan, but at least I didn't burn. We're doing it again tomorrow after I do some more job hunting. BURN, BABY, BURN!

Soooo anyway... We've taken roughly 200 or so pictures this week, so I hope you enjoy those which I have posted. If you want to see pretty much all of them go to my MSN Spaces. It's entirely too sad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!!

Hahahaha Yeah...that's my brother.
He's 22 today.
He didn't even call me on my birthday, so all he gets is a blog post.

HA

We Are The Happy Boys & Girls

2006-06-14T23:05:00.000-06:00

Well well well Mr. Blog. We meet again.
I apologize for neglecting you so, but I seem to have been rather busy running amok with these friends of mine. I have also been desperately trying to find a job...as well as just chillin' around the house with Mr. Blues.

It's been a rate fun couple of weeks!
Brett and I always manage to find endless ways to entertain ourselves. ...giggle fests in the kitchen at 2am, taking the most random of pictures, watching bizarre web cartoons like salad fingers or the spoilsberry toast boy, awesome music, and then our random movie nights. It's fantastic!

Both Liz and Joyce came home on the 6th. Joyce from Taiwan, where she stayed for roughly a month. And Liz from Vancouver. She was away all year, except for those 2 weeks in January. Awe, I missed you Liz!!
We've been having a blast!
Brett, Liz, Lena and I spent the whole weekend going out and having fun. Jennie joined us for a while on both Friday and Saturday, that was awesome! And Lena stayed at my place all weekend, which was cool so she could stay out with us all night. But she did hog my bed all weekend and I was deduced to sleeping on the couch. pfft!
We ended up at Divas on Saturday, which has pretty much become my weekly hangout every saturday night. It's so much fun, and everyone was there this week, which was super-magnificent!!
Divas is the place to be! Ohhhh Yeeeah!

So yeah...my ma bought us a bunch of mangos last week, so Brett and I have been consuming them like nobody's business.
It's been quite a strange theme, actually.
My buddy James and I planned an entire date around those mangos.
The plan was to come over, eat some mangos, play some pool, and watch a weird movie. So on monday, I pick up James, we eat some mangos, then he has a ginormous allergic reaction and can't breath, *omg we killed James!* we rush him to the mediclinic, he's ok *thank god*, then we take him home. Oh and the seatbelt in my car killed him again. It was so sad. I felt so bad!! But it sure did turn into an adventure, I'll give ya that!
Poor James!! I hope he never has any days worse than that!

Anyway, so this week is almost over already! Brett goes back to work tomorrow. He's working at Coles bookstore in Lawson. He's only worked 2 days out of his 2+ weeks of employment...which is causing him to be very poor. So it's a good thing he's going to be working some more. Now all I need is a job...which I have been saying for weeks. It's sad times, no body will hire me. *tear* It makes me sad.

So anyway, inbetween looking for a job and all that jazz, I'm sure I'll be having lots of fun this week, too. I still havn't seen the Da Vinci Code. Does anybody want to come see it with me sometime this week...PLEEEASE!!!

Eitherway, it is time that I end this post. There's probably some more junk up in my mind I could bring up...but nothing seems to be jumping out at this very moment, so farewell and goodnight to all.

Oh, and Brett's brother is hot. Just thought I would add that.

And here are some random pictures taken...during the writing of this post. (It took a few days.)

Slicin' up some mango. It tastes pretty damn great!

Brett, trying to take a picture of himself eating some of our delicious, delicious mango.

A bowl of mango. mmmm

This is Mr. Rotten Treats.

Brett was trying to make his hair long, like mine. It just looks like he's hiding though. It's cute.

Lena's workin' the cleave!

Sooo hot. Want to touch the hiney!

What a sexy bitch!

Liz, getting ready to go out.

Workin' the cleave!

Hahaha We showed Brett how to have a booty!

That's all for now...there are pleanty more pictures, however I do not feel like waiting up all night to add them to this post just so y'all can see how pathetic we are! hahaha

So, I finally gave into the whole "lets do all of the blogthings quizzes in the world" idea. Some where fun, some were incredibly pathetic, some were downright pointless, and some made absolutely no sense at all... but it all kept me entertained.

Enjoy!

Your Luck Quotient: 89%

You have an extremely high luck quotient.Not only do you consider yourself lucky, probably everyone you know does too.But you're smart enough to know that you've mostly made your own luck.By being positive, open, and flexible, a lot of luck has come your way!

How Lucky Are You?

Saweet Deal! And I totally just won hat from an Alexander Keith's Beer!

Your Hair Should Be Pink

Hyper, insane, and a boatload of fun. You're a traveling party that everyone loves to follow.

What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?

Haha That's so awesome. Lets dye my hair pink!

Your Lucky Underwear Is Red

You're confident and bold, and your lucky red underwear will only make you more sure of yourself. You have a great zest for life, and you tend to take on impossible goals - and succeed.
When it comes to love, it's hard for you to take the time to open up. You're too busy conquering the world. So if you're looking for a little more romance, put on your red underpants, and see where their passion takes you!

What Color Is Your Lucky Underwear?

Hmm, I'm not sure I own any red unerwear... The majority of mine are green.

Your Power Color Is Magenta

At Your Highest:
You energize yourself with your happy-go-lucky attitude, and push others to suceed. At Your Lowest:
You feel frustrated and a little overwhelmed.
In Love:
You are suprised by who you attract. You're a love magnet.
How You're Attractive:
Open and free spirited, people want to explore the world with you.
Your Eternal Question:
"What is my next source of inspiration?"

What's" Your Power Color?

Magenta is now my next source of inspiration. ...hmm I guess my eternal question has been answered. For now anyway.

Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed by your imagination.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Haha Pretty much. So basically my brain is made up of random shiney bubbles floating around aimlessly. Sweeet.

Your Personality Profile

You are dependable, popular, and observant. You are definitely one of the most free spirited people around.
You are unique, creative, and expressive. You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while. And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming!

The World's Shortest Personality Test

Yah, wow. Just pick a picture and it knows who you are. And yes, I am a freak. I will not deny that.

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace. You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions. You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.
It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional. You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others. While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.
At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything. You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams. You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

What Temperment Are You?

That's just a nice way of saying I'm overall apathetic ... but it's pretty spot on. So I won't complain.

You Are a Strawberry Daiquiri

You're a fun, playful drinker who loves to party. You may get totally wasted, but you're always a happy drunk!

What Mixed Drink Are You?

Haha Wee!

Your Theme Song is Soak Up The Sun by Sheryl Crow

"I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up"
You're laid back, optimistic, and very together. Like the sun, people feel warm and comfortable around you.

What's" Your Theme Song?

Yay, at least I like that song!

Your Life Path Number is 3

Your purpose in life is to express your unique self.
You are a creative and artistic person with an interesting view on life. Witty and outgoing, you enjoy sharing your crazy ideas with anyone who will listen. A total social butterfly, you're the life of any party.
In love, you inspire and enchant your partner. You are often an object of fantasy and desire.
While you are very talented, you sometimes lack the ambition to put your talents in play. And while your wit carries you a long way, you occasionally use it to mask your true feelings. Your natural abilities can bring you all the success in the world ... if you let them

What Is Your Life Path Number?

The number 3, you say. I quite enjoy that number. That sounds splendid.

Which reminds me.. I finally found another human being with the same birthday as me...who isn't Drew Barrymore. Yah, my friend Josh's friend. Her name is Jill, and it's cool cause we also have the same shirt. Therefore...we kick ass!

Your Birthdate: February 22

You tend to be understated and under appreciated. You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way. People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little. Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know.
Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true
Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid
Your power color: Yellow
Your power symbol: Circle
Your power month: April

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I'M ALIVE!!

Wooooo! How busy have I been!?

So last wednesday (which was roughly the 17th I think) Brett moved in to my brother's old bedroom. He still hasn't unpacked most of his stuff. Apparently there's a dead horse in there... ô_Ò
hahaha (a little inside, I know)

So yeah, we've been out and about, running around everywhere, visiting with random people, both looking for jobs and all that halabaloo. Actually I think Brett got a job. 2 jobs, infact. pfft. You're making me look bad in front of my parents, boy!! Stop that! haha

Either way, it's been a fun week. My parents were off to Grande Prairie to visit my brother for the long weekend, and Mr. Bews and I had a good time here - visiting, dancing, looking for work, sleeping, playing xbox....all that jazz.
Also, my dad brought my computer back from my brother's for me...although it took a bribe to get it back. haha ... apparently all that complaining can get me somewhere! hahaha beat that!
So now I have my good computer back, and I am happy.
huzzah.

So there you have it.
A brand spankin' new post, straight from me!
I'm sure that excites you all profusely.
It's not much, but really...does anyone want to here my day by day play by plays?

Didn't think so.

Well, I am off to watch some Jake Gyllenhaal movies with Brett.
He makes us happy.

Ciao my friends.

A Weekend Worthy of a Post!

2006-05-15T20:56:00.000-06:00

Holy Junk, did I ever have a great weekend!
Relaxing, job hunting, dancing, a bachelor party, and a big mother's day supper....they all made for a glorious few days! haha

Saturday was the best part.
Lena showed up later in the day, and we went for a drive and picked up her cousin and Jamie and proceeded to finish cleaning the shop all together. hahaha We were all dressed to the nines and vacuuming, sweeping and mopping! It was so great!
Eventually, Jamie, Lena and I all headed to the Pat and had one of the best nights ever.
See, it was Jamie's first experience in a club, so she was a little nervous.
« That's Jamie, Stealing the pink egg. She's so sneaky!
haha And a friend of her boyfriend is getting married, so they were throwing him a bachelor party, which ended up at the Pat. So with a big group of drunk boys (some of which I knew), Jamie and Lena....let's just say the night was one for the memory books! It was so much fun!
I wonder if that will ever happen again?
haha
Here's for hopin'! ;)

On Mother's Day my parents and I headed out to the farm...or at least my uncles place, seeing as no one actually lives on the farm which I am usually referring to anymore...
But one of my cousins, Duncan, was there from Red Deer, so it was awesome to see him.
That's Duncan. He's Tall. Too Tall...»
And then I got to visit with some of my aunts and uncles, and my grandma, of course.
It was a nice time, and an awesome dinner.
I also aquired one of the most retarded sunburns ever! I absolutely love it!
haha
See, I was wearing a tank top that is somewhat oddly cut, and a necklace with a big flower on it. So my whole front and right side is super bright red, and to top it off... there's a huge white blotch right smack dab in the center of my chest! haha
I looks great!
The funniest part about it, though, is that I don't even think I was sitting outside for a whole hour.
I think the sun is out to get me. :Þ

To top off my great weekend, I had a ...shall we say... fairly good conversation with my brother on the phone. haha no it was a good time. My parents are going out to Grande Prairie to visit him this weekend. I'm staying home. I'd like to visit him, but I had previous plans (girls weekend!! ...which includes boys), and also BRETT'S MOVING IN! sometime at the end of this week!! hahaha
I'm hella excited.
It's going to be a grand summer! ^_^

Alright, well I am off to watch 3 very much anticipated hours of Grey's Anatomy!!!
Ciao gente bella

2006-05-08T23:24:00.000-06:00

Hmm...it's been a while blogman. It's been a while indeed.
But not to worry! Other than the purchase of some pretty clothes and a couple hot nights out, I havn't been up to anything that will amaze - let alone interest - anyone. Not that pretty clothes and my nights out hold much interest for any of you...but even so...I shall press on.

I did read the Da Vinci Code, however, and I enjoyed it. It proved interesting. And now I know what the hell everyone in the world is talking about! muahahahaaa
Now I can't wait for the movie. Whose coming with me??

Oooh! It was Jess' 20th on Saturday...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOT STUFF!!!
(Here's where yall wish her a happy birthday...)
But since she had the unfortunate responsibily of a little thing you people call "work"(who works on their birthday? tsk tsk), I shall take her out for a scrumtrillescent lunch on Wednesday. Huzzah!

So I had a really fun weekend. Part outages, part relaxaging, part other junk. It was sweet.
Lunch and shopping with Mike, as well as my neverending dashboard messages written in the dust in his car...which are layered on top of many others ("Mike is saxah. Lick me now")...always turns out to be a glorious time. haha Also, the fun martinis at the 2nd Ave Grill, paired with Mike's new catch phrase,"Whateva! I do what I want!", created an enjoyable evening of visiting, conversation of Henry going bald, and something about a rats scrotum?
It was fun!
Diva's, with Mike and friend James (who I absolutely adore!), was also a blast. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Aaaand I finally got some Mike in my life! ^_^

Eeee! I am so excited... Brett is coming "home", as in here...in my house, in roughly a week or so!!
haha looks like my art stuff will have to find another place to live for the summer. I better get cleaning out the guest room.
And Liz is coming home in about 4 weeks! All my friends are coming home! Yay!
...not that the people who are already here aren't my friends...no...they are. Not to worry my fiends. ...I mean friends.

Anyway, I am off to persue an unfinished pastel drawing.
Have a fabulous week everyone! ^_^

What Flavour Fits You?

2006-04-28T16:55:00.000-06:00

Good God! Even They know that I am having a love affair with grapefruits! hahahaha

Your flavor is Groovy Grapefruit

With a laidback style and anything-goes outlook, your groove is mellow yellow. People enjoy hanging out with you for your calming vibe and unique perspective on life. That's probably because you aren't one to let everyday stress get you down. In fact, your pals would say they've rarely seen your feathers ruffled. But as much as you enjoy the company of your compadres, you're just as happy to spend time solo. Why follow the crowd when you can chill down your own path?
Chances are, traditional success has never been a huge priority for you. With your groovy outlook, we'd guess you're more interested in the journey than the destination. This type of thoughtfulness extends beyond your inner circle to the world at large. Whether lending a helping hand to others or getting the word out about social causes, your caring nature is punctuated with a zing that never fails to get people's attention.

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT**
(look, it's gray!) :Þ

Woot! Did I ever have a great weekend!!
And I really needed it!
After writing a HORRIBLE philosophy final on friday (which is fine by me because it's not the end of the world), I took myself shopping, and then went out for some drinks and dancing with the girls! The girls being Lena, Jennie, and her friend Kerry. We had a great time...especially when we got to watch those 2 gawky asian boys break out some moves on the dance floor. What a show!! ha ha ha hahahhaa ha. They made my night twice as good as it already was!
After the dancing, I got home and watched Elizabethtown, which is now my new favorite movie. It was great!
I havn't seen a movie like that in ages - and it's not great just because of the actors, or the crazy effects, or the blah blah blah that most movies are these days. It just had a really good story, feeling, and message. And the soundtrack is also amazing!
I recommend it to everyone!

Jamie and I went shopping at Value Village on Saturday. I always love the Value Village adventures. They are always so much fun. And when they are with Jamie - oh boy! Double the fun!! Even if we couldn't find that other cowboy boot... Then we came home and ate grilled cheese sandwiches and pickles. And how!

Saturday night was spectacular.
I went to a "Fiesta" (which wasn't much of a fiesta) at Lena's friend's place.
It may not have been as fiesta-y as planned but I had a great time, there were hot boys, we went bar hopping, aaaaand....well, if you really want to hear about the rest of it, ask Lena...because I don't want to embarass her.
Though, I'm not sure she really remembers much of what happened... poor girl.
Oh well!

So I really wasn't home that much this weekend.
But that's okay, because it was super fun.
Whoo! I am so excited that I am done finals.
Now I need to find a job, but first I shall take a break, because no way am I jumping straight from school and then right into work without having some reckless fun first! muahahaaa
Anyone want to join me for some of that fun this week? Gimme shout on the cell! We'll have some good times.

Here are the products of my final project for my painting class.

They were super fun to do! ...I am in love with colours.

Just thought I would share them. ^_^

Enjoy.

Wow! I love spring! Or at least warm and sunny weather. It's so damn gorgeous out! Who wants to come play outside with me? Any takers?

So yeah, I'm halfway through finals, I only had 2... So my last is on the 21st (phil). Which is why I refuse to study until later :D
(I hate philosophy.)
My first, which was on the 10th, was Art History. It went damn good, lets just hope my prof agrees...

Now I am basically just chillaxin' at home, the fam is at the lake for the long weekend, HUZZAH!
AND I get to clean the shop again this weekend, which equals lots of cash.

Anyway, I'm off to go judge Lena - because she killed a skunk.
(I know it was an accident...chill!)

Ciao i miei amici!

First point of buisness...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOYCE!!!
[..that's joyce --->]

Second...

*BIG sigh of relief* What a crazy week!!
I know everybody has been going through insane projects and term papers....I Hear Ya!!!
This last week I had a big...really big... term paper due for philosophy, and also my year-end painting project (which consisted of 3 paintings).
I worked on my paintings on and off for a couple weeks prior to when they were due, but as the date come closer it was almost non-stop, 24/7. Stupid Chantal and her stupid details.
So there I was, FIANLLY finished my painitngs! And then I realized, "HOLY JUNK! I've gotta start on this 12 page term paper for philosophy that I underdstand absotively nothing about!!"
I had done some of the readings assigned for this, but that does not mean I had any clue what they meant.
So there I was, with two days to read 100 pages of philosophy bullshit, write, and make sense of this ass of a paper, get my printer working, and hand it in on time!
Let me assure you, the paper made absolutely no sense.

The best part, was that I didn't actually sleep for roughly 3 days, so by the end I was ready to pass out. I could barely keep my eyes open while typing up my paper, and then having to sit through that class while the prof was giving us pointless notes, (it was the last class! wtf, mates? we don't need no more stinking notes!) that was torture. I kept myself awake and occupied by doodling pictures on a random piece of paper, which ended up being my birthday card for Joyce.

Anyway, my plan for that afternoon was to go home and sleep, but instead i ended up hanging out in the help center, eating half-assed cherry cheese cake, made by Jennie. (I still love you. ...A for effort!) and then I went out for lunch with Mike. Which was grand. Buffet style.

So by the time I got home it was 3. I conked out on my bed, and did not wake up until 2am, at which point I was really confused. haha Then I fell asleep again until 9am this morning.
Huzzah for 18 hours of sleep!!! That was the most exciting part of my week!

Moral of the story is: screw philosophy... worst. subject. ever!
At least I had fun doing my paintings! ^_^
I'll post pictures of them eventually.

Now I am on to studying for my finals, which I am not too insanely worried about.

Summer! Here I Come!!!

2006-03-20T14:22:00.000-06:00

So this has been one of the weirdest months of my life. Weird for good reasons and bad. The bad reasons are pretty much all my fault..or at least partially. And thank you to those who have made this last while turn out to be great. It has helped a lot.
So...From the starting point of about mid-February up until now...and probably still continuing, my relationships, my school work, and my mind have been a mess. In some areas they're falling apart completely, in others - flourishing and great.
ARG!
I've been spending a lot of time with people who I havn't seen in forever and normally don't see much. Which is so awesome! I'm enjoying the whole keeping-in-touch thing. But on the other hand, I havn't had much communication with some of my closest friends...for various rediculous reasons. And that's killing me!
Most of it is so childish and pathetic. Random arguments and disagreements - both parties at fault. And I'm so damn stubborn...which really doesn't help! So basically everybody's got that whole "I'm right and that's the end of it!" state of mind, which obviously doesn't work for anyone, and things are just blah. Oh yeeeah...and all of those "exciting bithday plans" which I have neglected to speak of...mmhmm, lets just say Chantal was not a very happy girl for a while. (and not just because of the birthday incidences...which I know I blew out of proportion.)

There are just so many things that are twisted right now, and it is definitely not even close to ideal, but what can I do? (besides trying not to be so pig-headed and stubborn...Ó_ò)

Now the whole school work thing...
I'm aware that I've only got 3 classes, but I've really been ignoring philosophy and art history. It's common knowledge that I perfer my painting class out of all three, but lately I havn't even been trying with the others. Painting, though, there are times when I'm not motivated to do it at all, but I still love the class. It's just the take-home assignments. But lately that's all I've been doing...drawing and painting. Which is what I wish I could [be motivated to] do all the time! Screw everything else! (If only life could be so simple!)
Anyway...there is more to that, but I won't bore my "faithful" readers with my school complaints. It's almost over anyway. And when it is, life shall be brilliant!
And I cannot wait to spend the summer with some certain friends who have been gone for far too long. You know who you are......Brett and Liz. HA

Anyway, things are just starting to go back to normal - or as "normal" as they can be for now, and that's probably more than I can ask for from some people. I'm starting to get back on track...or as back on track as I want to be, anyway.
Now I've just got to prepare for finals. Hoorah!
I just know this will be fantasticly fun! ha ha hahaha ha.

On a completely unrelated note: St. Patrick's Day was fun...for me anyway. I hope everyone else who was here for the festivities enjoyed themselves as I did. Here are some pictures...

On another completely unrelated note: Since when was it my job, and my job alone, to keep in touch and make everything happen?? If you're upset with me for not calling you in a while or not "making an effort", here's a clue!! I have a phone number, too! USE IT!!!!
I also have an address where you may find a house which will usually be occupied by me. Surprise visits are always welcome.
Stop getting upset with me when you're the one who is taking my enthusiasm for granted. If I get busy and tied down with school or work or something akin to both, please! forgive me for "not making an effort to be your friend!" But I certainly don't see you trying very hard. *note: this is only directed to certain people...they know who they are. others, do not worry if you havn't had this discussion with me before...because I know that at least one of you will worry...captain paranoid*

Soooo here is where I sign off...
This week feels like it's going to be good. I'm excited!
AND it's the first day of Spring!!!
Oooh and Happy Birthday on Thursday, Amanda!!!

Hide & Seek - Imogen Heap

Where are we? What the hell is going on?

The dust has only just begun to fall,

Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.

Spin me round again and rub my eyes.

This can't be happening.

When busy streets a mess with people

Would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines.

All those years, they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls

Where pleasure moments hung before.

The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this

still life.

Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines.

(Oh, you won't catch me around here)

Blood and tears, they were here first.

Mmm, what you say?

That you only meant well? Well, of course you did.

Mmm, what you say?

That it's all for the best? Ah, off course it is.

Mmm, what you say?

That it’s just what we need? And you decided this.

Mmm what you say?

What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.

Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.

Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.

You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIE!!!
Whoo! We Are 20, Girl!!!
So exciting!

So hey! What's with all this snow? It's completely ruining my social life!
Whoa whoa whoa!! Back it up! Did I just say social life?
Oh, wow! I think I really am being affected by this crazy snow!

But yeah, it seems that every time I make some solid plans to go out and live it up a little, something happens, and it's usually snow to blame. (usually) Though the snow sure didn't stop me that one night last week when I went hot tubbing with Jamie. That was a steamy night! ;)
But when the snow gets in my way, I'm not a happy girl.
Then I cry into the night, "CURSES! Foiled Again!", and with a swish of my cape I am back inside, with a warm blanket, on my couch, wallowing in self pitty, with my pancakes and margaritas, and countless chick flicks...
Oh, what a sad story.
But don't cry too many tears! I'm usually having a blast by myself. (In a really deranged and pathetic way.)
Then again...sometimes I'm not.
Chantal is lonely.
Will you be my friend?

And How! So I got RENT on dvd for my birthday and I totally spent all weekend watching it, and all of the special features...which were basically deleted musical numbers/scenes, and a really good documentary on Jonathon Larson's life. (writer/composer of rent) I just can't get enough of it! Good thing I already got the soundtrack for Christmas! That comes in real handy. haha ohhh musicals!

Oh yeah! I've been working a lot with my mom lately, helping her with her merchandising. Hurrah for setting up Loreal and Mabelline walls, and free makeup and products! SCORE!! It keeps me busy and makes me money...and keeps me from sleeping enough, but that's okay. I mostly do that to myself anyway. It's not like I have too much to stay awake for during the week anyway. And I can't believe there's only a month left of classes! I guess I've got a lot of random assignments piling up! I better get crackin'!
And it looks like I've been offered the cleaning job at my dad's shop afterall, but I'll be sharing it with two other employees' kids. I don't know how it's gonna work out yet, but it'll most likely be something like one month on, 2 off or maybe it'll go in weeks. It's basically just a job to get me some extra, easy cash..cause it pays a lot. Muahaha. ha.
But I will have to start looking for a summer job soon. My money seems to be disappearing rather quickly lately... It's starting to frighten me! Ó_ò

Alright! Well that's all I got for now!
Have a marvellous week all! :D

And damn the snow! Damn it to snow hell!

And Thanks for all the birthday text messages and such, guys!

Chantal is Old!

2006-02-20T11:35:00.000-06:00

*AHHH! I'm turning 20 in 2 days!!!!!*

Which is why everybody needs to come to the Fox & Hounds on Wednesday night, 7 o'clock. Bring me hugs!

I would go out and have some fun at the Overdrive or something, but I really shouldn't miss anymore philosophy...which is the class I'd probably miss on Thursday if I stay out all night. And then there's the fact that everybody else has school, too. See! I'm thinking about everyone here!
The real fun is reserved for the weekend, when the partying continues!
I've been stuck in my house with nothing to do for far too long, I need to get out...and if I don't get to, someone's not going to be a very happy girl. ...Mainly me.
So that means yall have to come out on Friday, or Saturday, or both. Where? Not a clue... yet. We'll figure that out.
But seeing as fridays usually have us ending up at the Scuz...that is probably where we'll end up.. ^_^
Saturday's, however, usually have me sitting at home cursing whichever asshat foiled me again. So I'm not sure where to even go on a saturday..help me out people!

So, it's been a while since my last post. It's been a while indeed. Though that is pretty much on a count of not too many interesting events have taken place recently...at least none that are enticing enough to share.
This past week was break. Didn't do a whole hell of a lot.
I went out with Lena, and Lena's cousin, and Lena's brother to play pool. It was a fun night. I sucked at pool. We all sucked at pool. It was rediculous. I need to clean my pool table off more often and play at home, instead of wasting money on pool and booze.
I saw Alli (Waskesiu friend) and her new baby on Sunday. She was in town from Birch Hills for the day, so that was Exciting! Her baby is a cutie!
I spent a couple days with Kelli - another Waskesiu friend. We went for lunch, saw a movie, and the like. It was cool.
I met with Jennie at the Fox and Hounds on wednesday. No body ever comes with us...we feel like rejects! And it doesn't help that they are extremely stingy on the grenadine with our shirly temples. Then again, it doesn't help that we order shirly temples. ô_ò That's usually Jennie's doing anyway. You won't catch me drinkin' any shirly temple! with no grenadine! hmmff!

That's pretty much the only incidences where I left my house.
Oooh and I sprained my wrist on Thursday night...
...by leaning on it the wrong way while getting up from a chair... yeah! I know! Pathetic! ha
So I was in pain all night - thought it was broken - went to the medi clininc in the morning - discovered I pulled some of them teeny muscles in the wrist - doc subscribed a tensor and some advil - all better :D
For the most part, anyway. It doesn't hurt much any more...uness I bend it in some crazy way, or if I wack it on the counter...which I have done countless times now.

Anyway...
Yup, not really looking forward to going back to school... Then again, I'm barely there anyway, and I am much too bored and lazy when I'm at home. Curses! Foiled again!
School it is! :D

On a more serious note, It has come to my attention that I am not a very good sister.
Ok, I already knew that. I'm a horrible sister.
I upset my brother and Amanda, I don't blame them! I was harsh. I need to find something else to take my anger out on, instead of undeserving people.
If you are still willingly reading this and not stabbing a voodoo doll - which looks a lot like me - in the wrist with a pin, I am so sorry you guys had to see that. I'm really sorry.
It'll never happen again.

On a happier note, I'm done! :D
Have a grrreat day all!

Random Update on Chantal's Oh so Gloriously Entertaining Life :D

2006-02-02T22:33:00.000-06:00

Well, what an odd couple of weeks, I've had...
I can't believe it's February already, and I'm going to be 20 in 20 days! That's so insane!
And midterms are already here! AH!
I think I better get reading...
Time sure flies like an arrow! Although, fruit flies like a banana.
Mmhmm, it's definitely true! ^_^

(That's me! õ_ò) ^

So yeah...I don't even remember half of what's happened in these past few weeks. It's been one extreme or the other...I'm either busy working my ass off with something, or I'm sitting on my ass doing nothing! haha And it's weird because I havn't really seen any of my friends. Yeah, I've gone out a few times and there have been the select few who I see on a regular basis - mainly because of our weekly drink/lunch dates haha, but anyone else...I havn't seen in weeks. Maybe some of us just needed a break. And then there's the fact that I've been running into a bunch of random people everywhere who I havn't seen in months or years, even - Also crazy!! But it's cool. I hate not keeping in touch!

Soooo...School is going grand, for the most part. Art history is same old, though I am bored in this class compared to the last one - it feels like is it basically a normal history class - I miss the paintings. - And the prof is getting lazy and bitchy, too. grrr

Philosophy...hmm how am I doing in that class? Good question. I have absolutely no clue, but I'm pretty sure it's not the best. It is finally getting more interesting, though - We're finally done with Plato (and that took over 4 months, which is entirely too long) and on to some other philosophers. It still will never be my favorite class. haha

That's what my painting class is for! It's still as fun as ever, and we are moving on to more independent studies, which is really cool. Me made masks yesterday in that class - yeah those nasty feeling white things that I havn't made since probably the 7th or 8th grade haha. But it was fun. We made then se we could paint them. Not paint ON them, but paint a picture of them...yeah odd.. Either way, laughs were had, and jokes were made. It was a grand old time! (especially since one girl got the mask stuck on her face and spent quite some time trying to remove it. haha)

I spent part of this week working the textbooks at Marion Graham again. Hurrah for minimum wage! ^_^ It was so weird being back at Graham though! All off the teachers are new, and they are all really young. Plus it just seems so damn small now! And so many of the students know me. It was creepy. And we're talking about kids in grade 9 through 11. I know a lot of the kids in grade 12 know who I am, but anyone elseis just kind of creepy. haha Oh and btw, Ms. Korven is no longer teaching at Graham...not a clue why, and no clue if she's going to teach anywhere else...but I'm assuming that she could no longer handle the stress that is being a highschool choir teacher.

Oh yeah! Jennie, Lena, and myself have been enjoying a weekly drink night at the Fox & Hounds every Wednesday. Yes...it is drinks, shirly temples, food...who knows haha And everybody should come. Even YOU! So that's 7pm Wednesday nights. (It may however be changed to Tuesdays...again. If that happens - which it probably will - I'll let you know!) And last week we even ran into Andy! Oh how I miss that kid. He hasn't changed one bit! There's no body else who can disgust a room full of people quite like Andy can! haha

On to an unrelated topic...CHANTAL HAS A NEW COMPUTER!!!

<(^.^<)*HAPPY DANCE*(>^.^)>

haha it's not a brand new computer...so don't go calling me a bitch just yet. It's just my pa's old comp from the shop - seeing as they bought him a new one - so it's not that wonderful. But it is a hell of a lot better than the one I was using. It's still old and has shitty windows 98, but at least it works. :P

I'm still pretty choked that my brother refuses to give me back the computer that is rightfully mine...and a lot better and more useful, but whatever. Let him be the ass hat that he his. He wants me to go live out in Grande Prairie with them this summer and get a job out there. I could make good money - hell I could work at KFC and make $10 an hour. Ryan's working at Boston Pizza and making $12. But I think I'd rather stay in the city for at least one summer of my life. haha Especially since I have never done that before. Who knows.

Aaanyway! I should be off. I bought a pineapple and I feel like eating some of it. I know...I'm a nut. Ô_ò

I shall catch you all - yes ALL of you - at a later date.Y

Whoot! How rare! It's been a month since my last post!
That's exciting....Ô_ò

Here are some details from my last month(ish):

Christmas was great. Quiet up at the lake - especially without my brother...again, but it was nice..plus I got seasons 1 and 2 of the OC, sonaturally I spent most of my time watching that. :D My parents are doing renovations at the cabin and we have a new kitchen already. It's glorious. Next is the upstairs. I can't wait!

...Isn't this a wonderful picture of myself? *cough* *cough*...

New Years was fun...and a nice change. Alanna was at the lake, and we kind of took over the dance at the hall. We had a pretty good time.
Liz was here for about a week after Christmas. That was the best ever! I missed her so much - I hadn't seen her in more than 6 months - and we had a ton of fun! ...Except when someone smashed in a window in her mom's car and stole her purse the last night she was there. It did, however, make for quite an interesting weekend. ;) Miss you Liz!!
As soon as that awesome week was over I was loaded down with homework, papers, and this and that...it was a mess and I have been EXTREMELY busy! But the bulk of that is over now. *Does happy dance*
School seems to be going great. I did pretty well in my classes last term - though I still have no clue how I am doing in Philosophy 110. But I was really satisfied with my marks in my other classes.

Alright...So other than all of that, there really aren't any major points to share.
Hurrah for SUCH an interesting life! haha

And this is my kitty....

I'll update soon...probably ;)

Oooh! Here are some before and after pictures of our new kitchen at the lake for anybody who cares! And for those of you who have been there....YES! The spiral staircase is comin' down!!! Muahahaha I cannot wait!

Before (It was a bedroom and two closets, you see.)

After

Yay for brand new kitchen!
...That looks almost identical to the one we have at home.... ô_Ô

{*NOTE* The first half of this blog was written on the night of Thursday, Dec. 16}

No more studying.
No mare late buses.
No more exams.
AND Christmas is here!
*JOY*
Ahhh Freedom! ....at least until January happens.
(It also helped that I had an awesome conversation with the guy I've had my eye on all term, who just happens to be in half of my classes! ^.^ ) ...Oh how I loved today!

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face, did some extra studying, and off to my last exam I went.
It was great!
My final went almost too smoothly, and I finished early...for once in my life! hehe
While waiting for the bus, I ran into said hot boy above, and then headed home.
Upon ariving home, I got a phone call from Jennie, and off we went to go see the new Harry Potter! (And OH how I did enjoy it!)
ooh, and the OC kicked ass, once again!
It was fantastic!
This day rocked!

And tomorrow will be spectacular, on a count of....I GET TO SLEEP IN!!!!
*GLEE*

I am thoroughly excited!

______________________________________

Alright! Part Two of todays blog! ô_ò
..for some reason I started this 4 days ago and never got around to finishing it.
So, here we go!

Friday came, and I did get to sleep in...and it was spectacular!
However, after the great moment of waking up after a nice loooong sleep, I ran into the dilemma of having nothing to do.
So, I came up with random things to occupy myself.

I wrapped some presents, I made some presents, I went shopping, I called some people to see if they wanted to plan something for the night, and/or weekend. (I was SOL)

Eventually I ran out of things to occupy myself with, then my parents took off to the cabin, so I was left to turn to playing pointless games on the computer, and watching horrible TV movies. *hurrah* ó_ò

Saturday was another glorious day of sleeping in, but after that the day continued much the same as the previous. Except I went shopping all afternoon in the nasty, angry-paranoid-shopper filled mall. It was a frightening experience, I'll tell you what, but I did manage to get all of my Christmas shopping done.

The rest of my weekend was basically spent watching an excess of junk on TV
(Gotta stop doing that so much), which leads me to today, Monday!

Today was alright; I did some things for my mom and ran a bunch of errands for her, then we went out for supper with some family friends. It was nice.

Oooh!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!!! :D
I hope it was terrific!
I'm excited for your birthday pub crawl/walk on Thursday night.

That's also my last night in town before we head up to the cabin. I'll be there until the 2nd, I do believe, so I'm trying to pack in as much fun as possible with everyone....which is proving to be rather a hard task.
Everybody is so busy right now...except for me! hmm I wonder how that works? haha
It's kind of upsetting, when I really think about it, but I'll get over it! :D

For now, however, I shall go.
My warm bed awaits....especially since it is so damn cold in this basement all the time! Brrr!
Farewell to you all, and to all a good night!

La Feliz Navidad a usted mis amigos que nunca llamen, y tiene por favor un paseo alegre en la rueda de los feris.

Chocolate Fondu! And Nobody to Share It With!!

2005-12-10T23:40:00.000-06:00

Hmmm An entire week of studying! And I am wiped! I still have a few days left to go! hmm I don't think I have ever studied this much in my life! All times combined, even! haha

I've still got both of my finals to write on Wednesday and Thursday, and after that...I'M FREE!!!
Plus most of my Christmas shopping is done!
(For once!) So that's exciting. Especially since I have been splurging on myself, too! :P

But all of this studying doesn't mean that I havn't been having fun!
Like tonight for instant...
I am TOTALLY enjoying some delectable, delightful, and FANTASTIC chocolate fondu right now!
And why am I having chocolate fondu, might you ask? Well...the answer is simple.
Because I can!
HA
I am alone, though, cause no one would come over and share it with me. But that's quite alright, because ALL THE MORE FOR ME! heeheehee

I am kind of lonely though. My parents went to the lake on thursday morning, and they aren't coming home until monday sometime. So I've only really had communication with my cat. Unless you count the fact that I went to the mall today...which was rough. I hate the mall this close to Christmas. People are rude.
But it has been really nice to have the house to myself for a while so I can concentrate on studying.
AND it's been SO beautiful out. I didn't even have to bother shoveling the driveway like my parents asked of me...all of the snow melted! YESSSSSS hahaha
oh wow, what a nut I am!

Anyway! So it looks like I am going to be spending Christmas up at the lake afterall!
We aren't goiong out to Grande Prairie - Amanda has to work Chritsmas Day and Boxing Day.
I was actually looking quite forward to seeing my brother. Oh well.

But yeah...lake for Christmas... I don't know. I used to love it, but that was when Ryan was there, and all my friends were at their cabins, too. Those days no longer exist, and it would be nice to spend Christmas with other family...like cousins we never see. But for some reason we aren't. Hurrah... yay... yeeeah...
Oh well. My parents are happiest when they are at the lake. It is becoming their home afterall. Let them be happy! :)

Ooooo! And I found out that when they move up to the cabin in about a year and a half, they aren't going to sell the house right away and I get live here until they decide it's necessary! BOOYah!
Roomates, anyone?
haha
I'm so excited! ......but only when you don't include all of the upkeep of the house haha
those things are not my forté...unless you only mean cleaning ...then yep that's what I'm best at! haha But mowing the lawn and all those fun things....no way! lol

Either way...it's gonna be nice! REAL nice!
Alrighty, well! I shall continue in my quest with the chocolate fondu!
It's been fun.
Farwell! Farwell, my friends! Until we meet again!
Il vostro mom gode un partito, con una mucca calda dal lato.

CHOCOLATE FONDU! HERE I COME!! (...again)

So, it's been a while my friends...It's been a while indeed.
While I have been dreaming of typing up a new post for the past 2 weeks, sadly I have not been able to...
As you may or may not have figured out, I have had absolutely no time for anything...Other than school of course.
If you have had the unfortunate experience of not figuring that out, congratulations. Would you like a small parade or a cookie?

Now I can't even remember the majority of events that took place since the last post...not that any of them are important anyway...or that you'd want to hear about my Ever so interesting life ;)

I think it was on the 23rd, Mike and I went to see RENT. Oh how I enjoyed it.
I can't wait to see it again!

On Saturday (I believe that was the 26th) I had the adverse obligation of going down to Regina with the University Chorus to perform with the Regina choir...and sit with a rather large amount of old people on a bus.
Luckily I had Joyce and Brittany with me. We ate, drank, watched a movie on a 1.5 x 2 inch screen, and were merry.
When I got home from Regina it was about 10-10:30. I sat around my house contemplating putting up my Christmas tree. Do it now...or tomorrow? Well I eventually decided on "Now"...but by that time it was almost 2am...I did it anyway. Hurray for dancing around to Christmas music and setting up my tree till 4 in the morning. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Since Regina I havn't really left my house, except for school. Oh...and that one night I went for McDonals. Mmmm delicious death!
And on Wednesday Carly and I ended up at Giant Tiger after class... There, we found ever so many things to make fun of. And purses...Oh purses galore!
Calry also bought some chocolates. We decided to eat some on the way home, and discovered that they looked like nipples. It was quite a discovery if I don't say so myself.

I had a midterm project due on Wednesday for my Painting class. It was a fun project...I got to make a small world with random objects, paint it all white, then paint the small world from 2 different angels. Wee
I was pleased with how they turned out. And I was especially happy that my prof thought they were "beautiful" *YAY*
And it was rather odd that more than half of my painting class didn't have them done..and even more people didn't understand the project at all.
Points for Chantal for having common sense! *YESSSS*

Other than that there have been a few other random things due and I've had to partake in some Philosophy and Art History adventures....but there was nothing that excited me as much as painting. heee

Today, I am writing an in class essay for English. It should be fun, no sarcasm intended! Mainly because my prof gave us our essay questions on monday, and she's letting us bring notes in without checking anything, so anyone could write up their essay at home and bring it in and write it up again during the class ha ha hahaha ha ...not that I am going to do that...no...I am not that cheap! (But I am on special this week.)
I love this prof....she's so crazy!
I also find it rather hilarious that she never exactly taught us really well on this topic either...and no body understands it fully...or they do actually understand, but are thinking too critically for how simple and easy it actually is...
Oh the metrics of poetry.
Muahahahaa

Anyway, time to go dress for success, buy bus tickets, and write an essay!
Adiós mis amigos, y por favor, se sienten libres comer una salmuera.

2005-11-10T01:03:00.000-06:00

So, last Friday didn't quite work out as planned. It was kind of a mess, and I was put into a real bad mood, but I didn't let the fact that one of my best friends forgot about me (again) ruin my night. (So much for my "no complaining" and "life is great" moments...all of that came crashing down as soon as I posted that last post Ò_ó)
To sum it up I drove to the Scuz by myself, cause everyone was already there, and I stood in line alone for about an hour, then got to stay in the bar for approximately another hour.
I guess I wasn't completely alone, though. Robin Cook and April Stiger were in line right beside me, and we caught up a bit. I havn't had any civilized conversation with them since elementary school...seeing as in highschool nobody talked to old friends, it just wasn't accepted. haha
But we were all pretty close friends back when we were kids, so it was nice to catch up.

The rest of that weekend was spent staying in, studying for an Art Hist test and watching a bunch of chick flicks in my pjs...which put me back into a great mood.
The best was Uptown Girls. It's a cute movie, and it was fun, so naturally, as soon as it was over I just had to go download the entire soundtrack cause it's full of fun, feel good music....even that song about sheets made of Eqyptian cotton....yes.
Best song, which has become my theme song: Charmed Life - Leigh Nash (of Sixpence None the Richer) It's just so gosh darn happy!
Also, Chantal Kreviazuk - Time. I love that song!
...I always forget about her, but I love her music so much. Wonder why that is? I think I need to buy some of her albums. With what money you may ask? Well...with the money that you will all give me, because that's just what's fair!

Even though I studied my ass off for my Art History test I don't think I did very well. Some of the questions involved things that weren't anywhere in my notes...so either I'm a horrible note taker, or we didn't go over those things with as much importance...or she didn't talk about them at all. Either way, I have a feeling it's not going to be as good a mark as my last test. But oh well, I need to even out the balance and do bad somewhere! :Þ hahaha yah right.

Other than that school this week's been pretty basic so far, and it's a short week *YAY*.
We did a 3½ hour long critique in my painting class today...why does there have to be almost 30 people in my class? My ass was so sore from sitting on one of those stools for the entire duration...and each person had 5 to 7 pieces to "critique".
I think I'm doing pretty well in painting, though. My prof has never complained about my work...then again he hasn't really had many negative comments for anyone's work... here and there I guess, but for the most part, he says I'm doing great. Which makes me super happy! *does happy dance*

I also had a dentist appointment today, just thought I'd share...it went rather well, nothing needed fixin' (for once).
Chantal 1; Teeth 0.
I own you, teeth! I own you good.

Now, all I do is go to my class tomorrow (philosophy), and then wait for my weekend to begin! Hells yes! And this time I do not care what I do or what happens. I'm just in need of a weekend....a long one...and no parents...for 3 days...
Cause that's the way I like it. Thank you Ben Lee.

Anyway, after sleeping pretty much all evening...I think it's time to stay up some more and finish Kevin's tattoo design.
Until next time, stay fit and have fun!
